It is not. Inalienable - unable to be taken away from or given away by the possessor. Marriage in all current, legal and cultural forms is a privilege. A privilege that should be afford to everyone! But it is not a right.<br /><br />Nonetheless, adults should not be told by the government whom they can and cannot marry. <br /><br />While I am disappointed in the way Utah has come to recognize gay marriage (via a judge, instead of the people), I think it is awesome and I am very excited.
